Jesus Is The Light That Lights The Way To God
Ex 25:31 "You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand shall be of hammered work. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and flowers shall be of one piece.
What's the purpose of the lampstand here?
The tabernacle was divided into two chambers. The first chamber was called the Holy Place. Here we find the table of showbread, the altar of incense, and the lampstand.
Then as we proceed further, we enter a second chamber, which was called the Most Holy Place. Here, we find the Ark of the Covenant. It is here that the Shekinah glory of God rests. One must pass through the Holy Place to get to the Most Holy Place, where God’s presence was.
Without the light of the lampstand in the Holy Place, the way to the Most Holy Place would be in total darkness.
Applying this to salvation---without the Lord Jesus Christ, man would be in total darkness as to the way to God.
Just as it is impossible for a man in total darkness to find his way so it is also impossible for a sinner to find his way to God on his own. He must find his way under the light of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the Light that lights the way to God.
